Lyrics

daremo shiranai daremo shiru koto no nai
kimochi de kono karada wa hibi mitasareteku

tatoeba kono kodoku ga kono subete no uchuu
no taiseki wo koetara boku wa kieru no ka na

unmei meite sensou meita kono jinsei meita bouken wo
futashika na mon de futa shitakunai dake mottai nai kara

ningen gokko jinsei gokko demo kimi wa waratte iraren no?
junsui baiyou kanjou souchi wo furu supekku de tsukau dake

kono tesuri nukeru kazoekirenai mirai wo
nagame tsuzukeru koto wo “ikiru” to yobu no?

todokanu koe wo ikutsu oshikoroseba boku no
karada tsukiyaburi zensekaijuu ni hajiketobu no darou

namida de nureta kimi no sono koe ga kono sekai no
bari zougon, fujouri, bougen ni oboretari nanka shinai you ni

sora no aosa ni amari aru hirosa ni makenu you
kedakaku zuruku koko de aragatteru

isshun meite eien meita kono shinjitsu meita genjitsu wo
“itashikatanai” de owarashitakunai dake mottai nai desho

ningen gokko jinsei gokko demo kimi wa waratte iraren no?
issai gassai anzen souchi wo furu suingu de suteru ima

kono tesuri nukeru kazoekirenai kitai wo
nagame tsuzukeru koto wo “ikiru” to yobu no?

todokanu koe wo ikutsu oshikoroseba boku no
karada tsukiyaburi kimi no naka made hajiketobu no darou

La La La Ta Ta　La u Lu La La
La La La Ta Ta　Ow Oww Ow

La La La Ta Ta　La u Lu La La
La La La Ta Ta　Ow Oww Ow

English Translation

No one knows, no one will ever know
Such is the feeling that fills this body day by day

For instance, if this loneliness exceeds 
The volume of the entire universe, will I disappear? 

Don't want this destined, warlike, life-like adventure 
To be shrouded by uncertainty because it’s too good to lose

Playing human, playing life, how can you still be laughing?
Aseptically cultivated, just use your emotional gear at full spec　

Is watching countless futures slip through your hands what you call a "living"?

How many must unreached voices be muted?
Before they break through my body, get scattered all over the world

I’m here fighting so that your teary voice won’t get drowned
By the curse words, absurdity, and lies of this world

So that it won’t get lost in the blueness of the vast sky
Nobly and slyly, I’m out here fighting

Don’t want this momentary yet eternal, truth-like reality to end
Just because “It’s inevitable” because it’s too good to lose

Playing human, playing life, how can you still be laughing?
And now you're throwing away all your fail-safes in full swing

Is watching countless futures slip through your hands what you call a "living"?

How many must unreached voices be muted?
Before they break through my body, get scattered and reach you

La La La Ta Ta　La u Lu La La
La La La Ta Ta　Ow Oww Ow

La La La Ta Ta　La u Lu La La
La La La Ta Ta　Ow Oww Ow
